What's the appeal?

it's a shitty album

>>73968575
When You Sleep is one of the best pop songs of the 90s.

>>73968727
it's 2017 now, the 90s are over. this album sucks.

>>73968745
When You Sleep is one of the best pop songs ever.

>>73968575
You're probably not in shoegaze's target demographic: 17 year old chronic masturbators with anime pics in their RYM profile

The guitars are a gigantic noisy but lovely blanket

>>73968763
Ever is the past now, still sucks

>>73968771
No, they are just guitars that suck

I really don't understand this album at all. It does nothing for me whatsoever. And the singer is really unappealing.

>I don't understand :c
>pls spoonfeed me the deep meaning :c
You don't like the way it sounds and you're probably listening to all music incorrectly given your initial reaction to something new.

>>73968888
wrong, i just don't like it and my opinion of music is different which should be acceptable you fucking nazi

>>73968888
those quads speak the truth

>>73968888

In conversational English "I don't understand ______" is often an idiomatic expression meaning "I don't understand why everyone jerks their micrococks to _______"

I wasn't asking for anything to be spoonfed, the album fucking sucks

>>73968575
Heaven or Las Vegas -> You Made Me Realize -> Loveless
there's your introduction

Haven't listened to this yet. What setting should I be in? (Mindstate, physical surroundings, alone/with people, high/sober)

>>73968965
just listen to it you turbo autist

>>73968960
NOPE, heard all those and they fucking suck. just give up,

>>73968965
don't listen to it, it will turn you into a flaming asshole like everyone on this board

>>73968888
All I'm asking is what you like about it muhfucker, it has no deep meaning besides "ughh love and sex and relationships"
Also that's some assumption to make that I listen to music incorrectly just because I don't like one album on the first listen

>>73968979
ok i respect your opinion but greatly disagree

>>73968965
headphones and high volume to get lost in the textures

enjoy

>>73968998
>it has no deep meaning besides "ughh love and sex and relationships"
music has no inherent deeper meaning, you give the music meaning yourself

Is there a single thing that this band does better than The Cure?

>>73969106
suck

Why are newfags this easily triggered?

>>73969005
Definitely use headphones. Should go without say for most music, but definitely this.

>>73968844
The singer and lyrics are mostly distorted and hard to hear the whole time. The appeal for me while listening to it was the sound and feel made. If lyrically dominated music is what you like, you probably won't like this.

I also just heard this album about a week ago and I loved it. The only problems I really had with it were To Here Knows When kind of drags on and could probably be cut down by a minute or so and then also Blown a Wish was kind of meh. Only Shallow, When You Sleep, and Sometimes are great, and I really like Touched too even though it was only 40 seconds. Solid 8/10.

>>73969106
yes, kevin shields is probably a bigger faggot

>>73969015
Interesting point, but I think some music is clear in what meaning it has and some is very interpretable for the listener personally. Either way, I don't get much meaning out of Loveless besides the emotional ups and downs of young relationships

>>73968763
>>73968727
>not saying Friday im in Love is best 90s pop song
Are you even trying

>>73968575


Wow the daily 'I don't get Loveless' thread

Do us all a favor and fuck off and don't post that you "wow finally got this album' thread when you actually 'get' this album.

>>73969116
why do take everything so seriously, you're going to die of a heart attack

>>73969163

Next time just check the archive for answers because this "I don't get Loveless meme" is stale as fuck.

>>73969286
so is your whole life

>>73969286
OP/newfag here, never knew this was a meme, my bad

It's just one of those "historically important" albums. The praise it gets has little to do with the actual music quality.

>>73969255
>>73969310
>newfag
Ok, just keep listening to it , it was the "hardest" /mu/ core album for me to 'get'.

And the reason why everyone's flaming you right now is because we literally get this thread everyday.

>>73969356
everything you write, everyday, is bullshit.

>>73969126
It gets dicey with lyrics, but usually they are vague enough to allow for multiple interpretations. Loveless is different because you can easily choose not to pay attention to the lyrics (because you cant hear them lel) so it could basically be "about" anything you feel.
Keep in mind, meaning in this case doesn't necessarily mean "what do the songs mean" it can also be from an appreciative standpoint (i.e. what did Loveless do to innovate rock music) or strictly from an enjoyment standpoint (i.e. what does Loveless do to fascinate you).
If neither work out for you, that's fine. People judge art in different ways.

>>73969343
Oh so like every Nirvana album?

>>73969356
I liked the album, but honestly what was it you got?

>>73969391
your life is easy to ignore. it won't work out for you. that's fine.

>>73969410
>replying
Evidently I'm not ignorable enough

Honestly the hype on this album is just a big pissing contest to see who can sound the most "~informed/cultured/smart~" while trying to make this thing seem interesting by any means necessary. The only good argument for this album being good is the "revolutionary" recording techniques which were really just trial and error shots in the dark, but whatever. Good for MBV that they were able to market such an average album to such a large group of pretentious people.

>>73969459
you're the shit and this album rules, and anybody who thinks otherwise is wrong

>>73969474
There's nothing pretentious about it, I usually assume that anyone I talk to can understand it. If you think this is pretentious then Kid A must be a fuckin 5 sided rubiks cube.

>>73969483
or just think something you don't but fuck that calling them wrong makes you look better so do that instead

>>73969500
all must think alike and agree and love this album or something is wrong with them

>>73969474
>trial and error shots in the dark
this is usually how experimentalism works

>>73969343
At least explain why it's important so this thread can end. They developed an interesting production style that feels both harsh and beautiful just like how every teenagers see themselves. It got popular then became a blueprint for other bands to riff on or improve on the idea.

That's it. They created a unique sound that got popular just like tons of other bands. End of story.

>>73969511
That's pretty pretentious my dude.

>>73969500
The album itself isn't pretentious. That's not what I said. I doubt MBV themselves care about this album as much as the morons who argue over its "prestige" or whatever. The elitist circlejerk over the album is what's pretentious.

>>73969517
it's a poop that won't come out, and everybody is running around with poop on their butt telling everybody about how poop is wonderful to hide their poop-butt

>>73969522
you like poopy my dude

>>73969538
>>73969554

Can we close this thread now?

>>73969744
flush the toilet all you want, your drawers are still soiled

didigigititis

i don't knoew op. it's my top 1 album all time. maybe you have bad speakers/headphones or have listened 128kbps

>>73969948
maybe your life is 112kbps and your head is bad

>>73969987
why are you like this

>>73969528
Its an acclaimed and beloved album. What about the circlejerk of all these tonedeaf retards patting each other on the back for not understanding something as simple as shoegaze?

It has the exact same appeal as ambient music, only it's loud and it feels organic because it uses guitars instead of synths

Sonics and songwriting were equally valued behind the making of Loveless unlike most bands who value one over the other.
